  • latest niteshades work

    finally got around to tinting the Jeep's taillights a while ago and took some pics, lemme know what you guys think:

    custom taped out the signal and reverse, and created a cutout area for the brake lights to show through better

      i would have done the turn signals too. but the less-dark area for the brake lights is an awesome idea and it looks it turned out good.
      :tup:

      edit: is there any way to get those jeep bumpers more black? it seems that every one that i see like that the bumpers are all faded and crappy looking plastic.

        i feel the same way as savage about the signals, still looks nasty though :tup:

        and as far as the black plastic goes, get a heat gun and heat the plastic like youre spray painting something except slower, just fast enough to not warp the plastic and you should see immediate results. the heat brings the oils in the plastic back out.

          yeah i really wanted to do the signals too, and honestly i have thought about going back in and touching them with a light layer, but it's my DD now so i didn't want anything i would have to worry about getting pulled for...definitely considering still though.

          as far as the bumpers, yeah all the laredo models came with that, and honestly it looks decent when the vehicle is clean and i armor-all them. this pic was right after it had been raining so it looks crappy --- dont mind :o

          i actually had the entire taillight blacked out when i first did them and it looked sweet but it was way too dark, so i went with this route. it looks great in person with my tint and other niteshades on the truck, but i definitely might experiment with a light layer on just the signals :D

            Did you clear it? They look really dull, but that might just be the pics.

              yeah they're cleared and shiny, just poor lighting on a gross day and bad pic quality (phone)
